App Engine, AppStream, Azure, apps in the cloud

App Engine is a Google hosting service that offers services and tools to simplify web application development. At the first stage, the service was provided free of charge on a trial basis to 10,000 users with resource restrictions, when space and traffic volume were allowed. For example, no more than 5 million page views per month, and in order to go beyond the limits, the service becomes paid.

AppStream. A competitor proposed by Amazon in 2014 allows applications developed in the cloud, including 3D games. Support for type g2 allows you to transfer all calculations to the server and send the resulting image to a client computer, which can be simple mobile.

Hero. At prices ranging from $7 to $500 per month, depending on the configuration, this cloud hosting offers you almost all platforms, including Node.js. All kinds of services are also available.
There is even a free configuration for conducting tests.

Finally, Microsoft offers its own platform, Azure and Amazon AWS.

Advantages:

Resources are provided, you can create a web application by focusing on the services of the application itself and not caring about related aspects, such as hosting, API.
The service allows you to scale resources, including space and traffic, without the need to restructure the application. He is not afraid of traffic peaks.
APIs provide pre-installed components that will no longer need to be implemented, such as user authentication and better integration with services provided by Google, such as Maps.
Several languages that currently implement Java. Azure implemented Node.js.

Inconveniences

There is always a risk of depending on an external service for an online application. The experience of this user, who was mistakenly disconnected from his domain (in), and who tried for several days to contact someone who can solve his problem, demonstrates this. There really is support, but since her account was mistakenly disabled, he could not access it. The required PIN number is regularly updated, it also cannot be noted.
Some webmasters have pointed a finger at the terms of use of the App Engine, they give Google extended rights to content hosted on the App Engine. However, Matt Cutts argues that this license is used primarily to protect Google from any unforeseen circumstances.
